This is the last peak on the ridge at the other end from Knocknadobar. It overlooks Kells and Roads Lough.
Kells Mountain East Top is the third highest mountain in the Iveragh NW area and the 263rd highest in Ireland. Kells Mountain East Top is the most northerly summit and also the most easterly in the Iveragh NW area. Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/251/

Park at V528 872A. Proceed up through a steep field alongside a stream for 100m, crossing a fence where you'll see a narrow rocky track. Turn left along track for a few hundred metres before ascending directly south via a steep heather-covered spur. The slope becomes less steep at about 400m altitude and the heather is replaced by short grass, which makes the going considerably easier. There are great views over Roads Lough and along the precipitous valley sides to the left. At point V533 862B you will emerge into a broad, almost flat area between Kells Mountain and the East top. Turn left and walk 300m. The broad summit area rises fairly sharply for about 20m and is a a mixture of rock and grass. The summit is marked by a significant cairn. Time for ascent 1.5 hours.
